Convair B-58 Hustler (1/48 Monogram)

WOW, looks amazing and such high quality work  - thanks for sharing.  Love the Hustler but the NMF skill has thus far eluded me so have not tried to tackle that beast just yet but yours looks terrific - very well done.  I'm amazed all the tyres are sitting perfectly flat on the table - super work!

 

Ignore the nitpickers - the markings look terrific IMHO.  Great job on a great subject.  Will have to see on BritModeler your build thread.

Magnificent, simply a beautiful build.

I've always wanted to build the B-58 and always found a reason not to. After seeing your Hustler, just might take a shot at it this winter.

Is there a link to the build on BritModeler?

Very impressive B-58 Seversky.

 

Were you able to locate a T.O-114 for the markings?

I find it hard to believe that such a big NMF aircraft was almost devoid of maintenance stencils, but you seem to have found a source to enable you to add at least some additional markings.

 

Or have you just added them semi-randomly for effect?

 

Not a criticism, your model looks really great!

My source of stencils is photo from the National Museum of the USAF in Dayton, Ohio (for Two-Component Pod).

Other added randomly.

You're a relative newcomer here, Seversky. Might I suggest you dip your toes into large scale waters?

Thank you, I've already started.

There is in my stock 1/32 Shenyang FT-6, Hunter FGA.9, CT-155 (Hawk 67) and waiting T-2E Buckeye. )))
